CJP leaders to visit Delhi police station tomorrow, seek date for fresh Jantar Mantar protest
CJP leaders said the Delhi Police had 24 hours to provide them with a date for the protest
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders, comprising Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Abhijeet Dipke, are set to visit the Parliamentary Street Police Station on Monday morning. They are seeking a date for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. The Delhi Police have been given 24 hours to provide this date; otherwise, the CJP leaders will announce a protest call independently.
The CJP members were detained on Saturday due to a significant security increase, with over 7,000 protesters being arrested at various locations as police prevented them from reaching Jantar Mantar. Over the past two days, CJP leaders were released after court orders. Demonstrations by protesters, including Neha Bora from the All India Students Association, continued on Sunday but led to their arrest and subsequent release.
The Supreme Court, during a special session on Sunday, ruled that peaceful protesters without weapons cannot be detained unless following the "procedure established by law." Despite this ruling, the Delhi Police persisted in detaining protesters around Connaught Place, including CPI(M) leader John Brittas. Opposing parties plan to march to the Supreme Court on Monday, with Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge requesting an appointment with Chief Justice of India Surya Kant to address the "vote chori" issue. However, the CJI reportedly denied their request.
